Highly Specialist Speech and Language Therapist in Newport and the South Wales area.

Hello, I'm Chris Hargreaves, a Highly Specialist Speech and Language Therapist (SLT) with almost 20 years of experience supporting children and young people with speech, language and communication needs across South Wales and Bristol.

Every child communicates in their own way, and every family has a unique journey. That's why I provide friendly, personalised and evidence-based speech and language therapy tailored to your child's individual strengths, needs and goals. Whether your child has a speech delay, speech sound disorder, Developmental Language Disorder (DLD), verbal dyspraxia, autism-related communication differences, or other communication difficulties, I work closely with families to help children develop confidence and reach their full communication potential.

My assessments and therapy sessions are child-centred, engaging and practical, using fun and motivating activities that fit naturally into everyday family life. I believe that parents and carers are the most important people in a child's communication journey, and I work in partnership with you every step of the way.

I provide private speech and language therapy, comprehensive assessments and diagnostic assessments throughout Newport, Monmouthshire, Caerphilly, Chepstow, Caldicot, Newbridge, Cwmbran, Abergavenny, Risca, Caerleon, Pontypool, Usk, Merthyr Tydfil, Swansea, Porthcawl, Bristol and surrounding areas.

Seeking support for your child can feel like a big step, and it's natural to have questions. My aim is to make the process as welcoming, straightforward and reassuring as possible. Take your time to explore my website, learn more about the services I offer, and if you'd like to discuss your child's communication or arrange an assessment, I'd be delighted to hear from you.

Together, we can help your child build the communication skills and confidence they need to thrive at home, in school and beyond.
